The title of this book, *From* Cape Wrath to Finisterre, is misleading, because it’s not a traditional travel account. Instead, the books is a collection of very short essays around topics related to Larson’s three years of freedom sailing the North Sea. His jumping off point is a the work of sailor-writer Harry Martinson; each chapter ends with a quote by Martinson. The puzzle is that Larson loves the Celtic people, but people don’t feature in the book at all.
